Let’s Look at Vegetable
list’s
![Page 12: David Rodriguez - Texas A&M AgriLife...David Rodriguez dhrodriguez@ag.tamu.edu 210-467-6575 Title Slide 1 Author xdellx Created Date 5/18/2011 2:52:05 PM](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071215/604473781c9ae973c800de05/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Transplanting is typically more
expensive then direct seedling, but
you make that back in reduced time
the crop is out there, reduced land
rates, improved quality and
uniformity. That’s worth a lot to the
grower.”

Why Transplants over Direct Seed
• Increase seed costs and availability of modern
hybrids
• Window of planting (Based on last and first
expected frost dates)
• Marketing advantages
• Uniform Production
![Page 14: David Rodriguez - Texas A&M AgriLife...David Rodriguez dhrodriguez@ag.tamu.edu 210-467-6575 Title Slide 1 Author xdellx Created Date 5/18/2011 2:52:05 PM](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071215/604473781c9ae973c800de05/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Another significant influence on the
shift toward transplanting has been
rising water costs.
• Because growers don’t need to worry
about pre-irrigation to get seedling
emergence, they use significantly less
water up front and less overall during the
course of producing a crop through the
use of drip irrigation.

In addition, because growers can save
two to three weeks in the field, many can
cultivate marketing advantages as well by
capturing sometimes profitable early
season market niches.
